Uddhav Thackeray: "In whose hands is power..."; Uddhav Thackeray's first major reaction on Bihar result

Scroll down to read the news in brief...

(UddhavThackeray) The results of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections have been announced, with the BJP emerging as the largest party. After the NDA secured a clear majority, the path to forming a government in the state has become easier. On the contrary, the Congress and RJD faced a major defeat, creating an atmosphere of disappointment in the grand alliance. Against this backdrop, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) party chief Uddhav Thackeray has recorded his first major reaction.

While unveiling the T-shirt and logo of the MLA Cup in Mumbai, Uddhav Thackeray targeted the Center and BJP. Just a few days ago, while on a tour of Marathwada, Thackeray, who demanded 'farmers must be debt-free', is now seen commenting on the unexpected equations of the Bihar results. Although the NDA has returned to power in Bihar on its own, he noted that this result is completely different from the exit polls.

“The one who wins is the conqueror... but no one could understand how this conqueror is made”

Reacting to Bihar's victory, Uddhav Thackeray said,

“The Chief Minister said—He who wins is the conqueror! But how one becomes a conqueror is a secret that no one understands. Congratulations to those who won. Tejashwi Yadav's rallies were hugely crowded, whether it was real or created by AI is hard to tell.”

They directly criticized the BJP over the discrepancy between the crowd at rallies and the results.

“Those whose rallies have empty chairs form the government, and those with crowds of millions lose, this puzzle cannot be solved by any mathematics,” Thackeray criticized.

The issue of removing names from the voter list raised again

Uddhav Thackeray also questioned the Election Commission regarding the errors in the voter lists in Maharashtra.

“65 lakh names were removed from the voter list. It is not clear whether they have been reinstated. We organized a march for this, raised our voice about duplicate registrations and fake addresses. But the Election Commission remains silent. Should such a process be called democracy?” he questioned.

He further said,

“Elections are the lifeblood of democracy. We do not oppose elections. But expecting people to accept the result when there is no transparency in the process is wrong.”

NDA's victory and the anticipation of the Chief Minister's position

Due to the BJP's major victory in Bihar, the anticipation of who will take the Chief Minister's position has reached its peak. “Even with a majority, a leader cannot be chosen yet,” Uddhav Thackeray remarked, comparing the political developments in Maharashtra to those in Bihar.

Uddhav Thackeray's reaction is particularly significant due to his first commentary on Bihar's political outcomes. The crowds at rallies, the overturned predictions of exit polls, and the questions raised about transparency in the election process have all led him to target the BJP both indirectly and directly. Now, everyone is watching what equations will be formed in the establishment of power in Bihar and what Thackeray's next role will be.
